    actually the NSA is pretty good about disclosing vulnerabilities such as that. the threat of foreign corporate and military espionage is much greater than the usefullness of such technology for domestic abuses.

    but it's ok to kill other people, as long as you use small bullets so they take a long time to die?

    if i had no choice but to get shot i would rather get liquified by an M82A1 than lie on the ground bleeding to death with a gut full of pistol ammunition (which is what an MP5 shoots)

    .50 cal isn't typically used on people not for some concern over how much of a mess it makes, but rather because the rounds are huge, heavy and expensive compared to sizes of ammo that is typically required to effectively kill a person. on the other hand a .50 cal rifle can take out material targets that would otherwise require artillary or rockets to destroy.

    ticket revinue should go into a fund which is distributed to taxpayers who did not get any tickets that year

    exactly


    though it is unfortunate, a few (thousand) bricked PC's, scrambled hard drives, and corrupted memory cards would do a lot to increase the percieved importance of computer security to Joe Moron. who cares if their PC is spraying worm traffic all over the net and sending gigabytes of spam, as long as the computer works nothing gets done.

    if we went back to the days when getting a virus or worm was catastrophic people would be more careful.

    especially if you make the worm multi-headed. inserts itself into executables included on disc images read by burning apps, slips itself into U3 thumbdrives, does heavy local network scanning with occasional ventures into the general internet, but not enough to attract much attention from an ISP, maybe scan 1000 hosts per day. each newly infected host starts encrypting files in my documents (and decrypting them on so moving to thumbdrive or CD won't indicate a problem on other machines). on the last week of infection the host corruptsfiles from random directories on removable media over 2GB, and occasionally will corrupt the entire drive on storage under 2GB. the last day every external storage accessed takes some damage, including FTP's or windows shares with delete and write permissions. when the machine suicides everything that can be hosed will. any known hardware tricks (such as massively OC'ing the video card) will be done, then the hard drive gets scrambled

    the purpose of the button is to attract such spontanious sandwich pairs to a useful time and location

    if you are hungry now you don't want to wait 50 billion years and travel 16 light millenia due north to get a sandwich, you want it now, and a couple feet in front of you, on the desk

    you also need the button to be sure they don't form too close and explode
